Share and disseminate RSCA
In addition to make submissions for journals and conferences, faculty can share their RSCA via SJSU ScholarWorks, which is a digital repository of the research, scholarship, and creative works of San José State University faculty, students, and staff.
The SJSU library also has helpful recorded workshop and webinars about Research, Scholarship, & Creative Activity (RSCA) Impact.
You may also consider using JANE (Journal/Author Name Estimator) to identify journals to submit your manuscripts to.
Social Sciences Index (SSCI)
The Social Sciences Index (SSCI) is a useful source for faculty to identify journals in their respective disciplines. Here are some basic steps to access SSCI:
- Go to “W” under the alphabetic list of SJSU Library Databases
- Click on Web of Science (and Journal Citation Reports)
- Once logged in the database, click on “Journal Citation Reports” on the top of page
- Select “JCR Social Sciences Edition” and “”View a group of journals by Subject Category”
- Follow the search instructions to select the subject/discipline to view the journals indexed by SSCI in that subject area/discipline - the journals can be viewed by title, impact factor and other indicators.
